Welcome to my website

I am working as an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Development Studies (IDS), Jaipur, India. Prior to joining IDS Jaipur, I worked as an Assistant Professor at Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences. I also had the privilege to work as a Research Consultant at the United Nations University – World Institute for Development Economics Research (UNU-WIDER), under the esteemed supervision of Professor Kunal Sen, Director of UNU-WIDER, Helsinki, Finland. Additionally, I held a distinguished position as a Research Fellow (Post-doctoral Fellow) at the Centre for Sustainable Employment, Azim Premji University, Bengaluru.

My professional interests are deeply rooted in both research and teaching, particularly within the domain of development economics and applied microeconomics. I am passionately engaged in exploring various facets of firm dynamics, labour markets, industrial economics, and the informal sector. My research endeavours primarily revolve around investigating small firm transitions within the Indian manufacturing sector, with a special emphasis on the intricate interplay of finance, infrastructure, and labour regulations.

Excited to contribute to the field!
